CUDAHY

ROBBERY

A 24-year-old Cudahy woman was arrested for armed robbery after she entered Speedway Gas Station, 4944 S. Packard Ave., about 2:40 a.m. Nov. 17, wearing a mask and demanded money. The woman implied she had a weapon to the clerk, and made off with about $100. The suspect's brother called police about a half-hour later believing his sister was the one involved in the robbery; a short while later she was arrested at their home in the 4900 block of South Hately Avenue. The woman told police that she was approached by three black men who told her she had to rob the gas station or that they would kill her. After she robbed the gas station, she told police the three men were no longer outside; she then went home and confessed the robbery to her brother. During her interrogation later that morning she finally admitted to police she had not been approached by any men to coerce her into the robbery. The investigation determined that her brother was also involved in the robbery. The plan was apparently his idea and he drove her to the gas station and then back to their home following the robbery. They were apparently planning to use the money to support their prescription drug addiction. The woman also has a history of swindling money out of family and friends by telling them she is sick and needs money to pay for her health care. Her past fraudulent medical issues that she received money for include a brain tumor, abortion and other illnesses; her grandmother even gave her money designated for her burial plot to help pay for one of her granddaughter's illnesses. Police have opened investigations into these fraudulent claims as well. Both the woman and her brother are being held in the Milwaukee County Detention Center.
